“I think that when a heart breaks, it begins to shed its layers. Slowly but surely, the heart molts. Pieces fall away and it aches and it becomes something new. I think you were the soul mate of my child heart, my dreaming heart. And the heart I have now does not know you but it thanks you for coming and going the way that you did, for allowing this heart to become a soft and strong one. It thanks you for leaving, for allowing someone to love me better.”
